Lockout at BC library has unintended consequences

Mon, 03/24/2008 - 14:22 — Blake

The lockout at the Greater Victoria Public Library is hurting more than casual readers.

Some local writers and researchers, who depend on the library to make their living, are eager to see an end to the dispute that has closed all nine branches for more than a month.

People who are visually impaired, who rely on the talking books program at the main library, are also upset the lockout has dragged on since Feb. 17. The key issue in the dispute is pay equity.
